You having a job a Fox News would be highly entertaining to say the least.

Work nights I usually get around 5-6 hours of sleep. If I don't have to get up in the morning any where from 7 - 10, also I nap on days I don't work.

For me, it really depends on what shift I'm working. If I'm working a 7am shift, I usually will get 5-6 of sleep, because I have a really hard time sleeping before midnight. If i'm working a 11am or 3pm shift, I usually get 8ish. Not always, but usually. It's one of the things that I really hate about not having a regular schedule. A few years back when I took my second year of French over the summer, I had little issues acclimating to starting school at 8am, because it was 4 or 5 days a week and it was consistent. If I have my manager's work schedule, where she has to be at work at 6:30am 5 days a week, I could probably acclimate to that fairly easy too. But it's impossible for me to acclimate to being a morning person without that consistency, because I'm just not a morning person. Usually when I plot out my school schedule, I make sure none of my classes start before 10.

Three hours is brutal. I've done it a couple of times and I feel like sh*t the entire day. Usually end up crashing around early afternoon and then I wake up ten hours later and my sleep cycle is messed up again.

That FFXIV trailer was singlehandedly cooler than anything from FFXIII.

Ah, just saw this.



You people and your 6+ hours.

If I get 4 and a half hours, it's sleeping in for me. And I get up at 4:30 every morning.

Edit: And I've been on a ska binge recently.

I generally sleep 7-8 hours.

Oh, and I got three phone numbers without asking for them today.

Dress shirts and ties are amazing things (also, using Daniel Craig as outfit inspiration @#%^ing works).

I like it when the kids take naps.

I like playing video games.

Someone, somewhere linked to a speech Arnold gave to a graduating class and I watched it. It was the slimmed down version (five minutes, I think) and his speech is definitely motivational. He discusses his six rules for success.

He talks about working hard and notes that if you sleep late there is someone out there who is learning something or building something while you sleep. So, he says to sleep no more than six hours a day. Then he says that there will be people who feel six hours is not enough. His answer to those people, and I'm paraphrasing, is "Well, I recommend you sleep faster."

It made me laugh. If only it were that easy.

Leaving for India tomorrow!!!

Woot woot

It's going to be awesome. Camel ride through the desert!

Also dropping in on Cambodia.

goodbye canada

I would never want to go to India. I'd be pooping all the time.

I hate Indian food.

This is the perfect time to go to india for the heat. Not raining and not super hot. Ideal.

Also I love indian food and am hoping to only get sick once, although I will of course try to not get sick at all.

I'll probably even post here every so often, because I don't have a life :D

Granted, aside from the Netherlands just about any place is less flat than Denmark.

Hey, don't talk trash about my country!

And stop telling Deli that he should send me spider pictures, dammit!

I don't. He tried to convince me to send you spider pics. I told him that if he wants you to see spider pics he'd have to send them himself. Guess he listened.

Also, scrap what I said. Denmark's highest point: Møllehøj - 170.86 meters above sea level vs Netherlands' highest point: Vaalserberg - 322.7 meters above sea level (unless you count Mount Scenery at 877m because that is part of the Netherlands, just a faraway part) and you guys don't even get this either.

tl;dr: Flat country is FLAT.

Our highest point is starting to look pretty again now that the fall snow has come.

I can see a 4,392m mountain out of my window on clear days.

Thus proving how awesome Washington is.

It really is. What's weird is that I still like the place.



Or more mountains period. What I linked is very, very atypical. The name of my town is the Spanish word for "flat".

923m? That isn't a mountain. That's a hill.

I have freaking mountain ranges to the East and West of where I live.

My brother also lives in the foothills of the Rockies (Boulder, CO), so... That's not really a mountain in any way to me. It's a big hill.

I can get a bottle of this, but from 1993.

Too bad it would cost me €76,21...

I'll pass on those but it's kinda cool that they're selling quite a big part of a vertical with the beer from '93, '96, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2011 and 2012. Although the €250 and a bit it'd cost to get all of them is a little excessive. Still, 19 year old beer...

Please don't write a book about a Hermione-like character.

I honestly couldn't think of a more annoying protagonist, even including Twilight. At least whatsherface is bland, not irritating.

A good female protagonist would be someone like Starbuck from BSG, or Zöe from Firefly. There are tons of great examples, but Hermione is a prime example of a girl who would be annoying as anything other than a complementary character.
